Surprised there's no mention of the Conservative Party parachuting in Grant Cool without a nomination race to snuff out a local candidate

Vote green🟢
I think here their best bet is to vote liberal to defeat the conservatives. It's really not ideal but with this voting system, it's the best way to ward off fascism in Canada.
The democrats down south didn’t stop Donald Trump. The 2-party system is in-effective against fascism.
The liberals have largely opposed proportional representation and will eventually frustrate people enough to go for the fascists because they want something different.
I think that frustration is largely responsible for the conservative party's popularity right now. More than any policy they want to pass. That's scary because that means either people are ignorant about their platform or they're really enjoy seeing other people suffer.
And I agree with you that the Liberals are fascist enablers.
But at this point, if it's so tight between the liberals and the conservatives in B.C., and you know either one of these parties could win and the other ones have absolutely no chance of winning, would you push people to dilute the non conservative votes across the other parties instead of voting for the one that can defeat the cons?
In my riding, the liberal candidate is projected to win, followed far behind by the bloc québécois candidate and the NDP candidate. So I'm not worried. I voted NDP just for the stats at this point, to show they have support here. It won't make a difference.
